| Summary |
Summary: "Learning to roller skate or ride a bike should be an enjoyable experience, but for a child with dyspraxia (also know as developmental co-ordination disorder or DCD), these activities can lead to feelings of frustration and failure. Can't Play Won't Play is packed with practical information, tips and hints to enable children with DCD to access and enjoy activities that other children take for granted." "Whatever game you chose to try with your child, this book offers handy hints for developing the necessary skills to make it an enjoyable and rewarding experience. From soccer and rugby to swimming, skipping and skating, the advice covers all the regular childhood activities as well as a variety of fun games to improve physical organization and social skills. The authors also provide useful equipment lists and safety tips, and include photographs and diagrams to clearly demonstrate the activities." |
